• Proven track record of developing new business opportunities and expanding market share
• Self-starter, comfortable operating independently against broad direction; treats the territory like their own business.
• A sense of urgency, deadline, and results orientation.

• Enough CRM and territory-planning discipline to manage a defined account list, even though the role rewards speed and volume over long-term relationship depth.
